He is still doing a killer job helping out with the Wednesday night ride and the group has grown a lot over the last two seasons. Things this late spring have been busy. Super busy, really, given the glacial conditions we all lived through followed by a swift transition into some gorgeous weather. As a result I've been remiss in getting around to updating anything but Facebook .
